    First concert - The Monkees featuring "Weird Al" Yankovic, 1987, Louisville Gardens--I was eleven, and it was awesome.

    First full-blown festival (had been to a few single-stage all-day radio fest concerts prior, but this was the first multi-stage, multi-day show) - Best Buy Riverstages, Nashville, TN Riverfront Park 2002. Friday headliner: Counting Crows. Saturday headliner: No Doubt. (Sunday headliner: Incubus, but we didn't go that day.) Biggest miss of the show--not getting to see B.B. King on the State Capitol stage. Biggest surprise of the show--seeing My Morning Jacket playing to about 15 people on the smallest side stage in the early afternoon.

    First concert - Billy Joel 1986 Nassau Coliseum
    First Festival - Saratoga Jazz Fest (I think it was actually called Newport Jazz Fest at the time, but eventually changed to Freihofer's Jazz Fest :lol: ) - 1991. Neville Brothers closed Saturday night, Ray Charles closed Sunday night that year. Went like 15 straight years, then off and on since. Awesome experience. Have seen many of the greats here (though missed Miles Davis' and Stevie Ray Vaughn's appearances by a few years). They let you bring coolers in with drinks (no glass!) and food. Totally chill atmosphere. Arturo Sandoval and David Sanborn w/ Bob James Saturday and Buddy Guy Sunday this year, so think it's time for a return trip.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Holy shit, that sunday lineup would have made my head explode.
    Imagine watching Bjork on the main stage Saturday while Foo Fighters destroyed the side stage, lol.
    Interesting to see old lineups like this!
